2) Make a YouTube Video (put some effort in to this)... this may not be until next week, b/c I'll want to update on the race.
3) Gallon of water per day.
New Goals:
Health & Fitness Related:

So many posts 
right, here's my report card from yesterday:
My goals this week:
1) whatever goals I make, I try my best to STICK to them yes
2) eat under 1900kcal 1927
3) minimum of junk (top priority) just 1 teeny tiny teaspoon of choc spread
4) burn at least 2500kcal 2501 yeah
5) exercise daily, MUST!!! 30min of aerobics
6) take one day at a time yes
I weighted myself this morning and believe it or not, i'm under 163lb. I drank 27oz bottle of water after my evening workout, so I'm quite sure it isn't water weight. Must be the breastfeeding :d burning off calories from biscuits.

Well it went, I dressed professionally and was confident the whole way through and I have done tons of interviews in my life so far so I know how to be proper, but I'm not sure what the outcome will be. The lady who I was interviewed by was the Boss's wife..
I'm a pessimist when it comes to things like this though so I suppose I will know when they call..if they call =( either way I will send them a thank you card for their time =)

1. Limit calories to 1200. yes
With my lower activity level, dinners and parties I'm fighting just to keep at 120. I've kept calories at 1100-1200, but it's just not enough to lose for some reason. I may lose a couple pounds one week and gain it back the next... really frustrating. I know if I could work out and do my normal routine it would be different. May have to limit breakfast to fruit until I can resume a normal activity level. Oatmeal, I will miss you.

I love the thank you card idea; even if they can't hire you now, it will open up chances for the future. It sounds like it went well, I hope you got it!

ruby,
I stayed between 116-119 lbs. from March until December without logging or counting calories... it just became a pretty comfortable habit. But then the holidays hit and now this injury. When my weight was down, I was walking or snowshoeing 2-4 miles a day. Until I can get back to that level of exercise, I'll just be happy not gaining.

I am really proud of myself for digging my car out today. I just wish I had photographed the before and after. You would not believe the amount of snow that I had to shovel!!!! My arms are already sore! It took me 40 minutes of shoveling to get that damn Beetle out of that snow bank. Thank goodness I don't drive a big SUV. On that note I'd like to write an open letter of complaint about this situation.
Dear Winter,
You are no longer welcome here. You have gone too far. Please leave now.
Sincerely,
Rose
